Run It Fast®

Run It Fast’s Race Across the USA had it’s third finisher early this morning when Alfa’s Omegas reached the Santa Monica Pier in 19 Days, 8 Hours, 0 Minutes.

The podium finish for the Omegas is a sweet finish for this rags to riches team. They covered just 87.36 miles and sat in dead last place after leaving New York City nearly three weeks ago. Led by team captain Alfa Severino’s steady stream of encouragement, inspiration, and big miles she put down every day, the Omegas got stronger and grew as a team as they climbed the standings while crossing the country.
